At Puy du Fou theme park in France, specially trained rooks-a member of the crow family-pick up cigarette butts and small litter from the grounds. Each time a bird drops trash into a special box, it receives a food reward.

A Corvidae Feathursday

Here are some more wood-engraved birds -- both black and white and hand-colored --by British author and wood engraver Eric Fitch Daglish (1892-1966) from his 1948 publication Birds of the British Isles, published in London by J. M. Dent & Sons in 1948 in a limited edition of 1500 copies. Today we display all the corvids from this volume, from top to bottom:

Common Raven (Corvus corax)

Western Jackdaw (Coloeus monedula)

Red-billed Chough (pronounced "chuf"; Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax)

Spotted Nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) 

Eurasian Magpie (Pica pica)

Rook (Corvus frugilegus)

 Carrion Crow (Corvus corone)

PARLIAMENT OF ROOKS #5 is out today!

From ABLAZE !

Be sure to grab a copy at your local comicbook shop or online retailers! Hope you all enjoy it! It's been a real labour of love over the last 5 years and I still can't believe it is now a thing.
